Description


Hello from purplegallinule - I am a vinyl enthusiast and have been buying, selling and trading records since the mid-1970s and I have always applied high standards and taken extremely good care of my records. 
All the records are wet vacuum cleaned before being thoroughly play tested and housed in brand new high quality poly-lined inner and protective outer sleeves.
Although considerably more of a music fan than an expert, I certainly know my way around vinyl records well enough to say that you can buy from me with confidence and with also being a collector, my eBay policy is simple - if I wouldn't be happy to slide absolutely any of these records straight into my own cherished personal collection then they will not be listed for sale on here - all I would ask of you is for a chance to put things right in the unlikely event that you are not fully satisfied. 
All records are sent out a.s.a.p. and packaged thoroughly in bespoke mailers with rigid card stiffeners to avoid any creasing or bumped corners and I am always very happy to combine postage.
Please note that I grade everything as 'Excellent' for the purposes of the listing as gradings are so subjective I personally never pay them much attention so please see the details below for an appraisal of this record.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Details about these specific records: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sex Pistols - 5 x original pressing 7" vinyl singles from my own original punk collection, all purchased 'back in the day', I'd imagine they'd all have been second hand, swaps or trades, and these have been stored away in a long forgotten about box in the loft after selling off all the rest of my extensive punk collection many years ago.
I always took good care of my records, though I certainly used to play them a lot, but always returned the vinyls to the indexed card sleeves shown in the photos with the sleeves stored elsewhere in plastic PVC protective jackets so they have survived pretty well with probably only the wear they had when I got them. 
I've tried to illustrate everything in the photos, the 'Holidays in the Sun' cartoon sleeve has wear and tear to the openings but the others are all in good shape and there is a spare 'Pretty Vacant' sleeve if anyone can make use of it.
The vinyls have all been played right through this evening on both sides and every record here plays through really well with no playback issues whatsoever.
The records are:
'Anarchy in the U.K.' - 1977 'Glitterbest' pressing with the 'BA-105' export code to the sleeve. The vinyl is in excellent condition with only very light hairlines and the run outs are etched 'BLY 640112 A/B'.  'God Save the Queen' - 1977 UK pressing, white label text to side 1, silver to side 2 and the vinyl is again in excellent condition and the run outs are etched 'VS-181 A6/B6'. 'Pretty Vacant' - 1977 UK pressing, again the vinyl is in excellent condition and the run outs are etched 'VS-184 A3/B3'. 'Holidays in the Sun' - 1977 UK pressing - the vinyl is in very good condition with very fine superficial hairlines visible to both sides but I have just played both sides and there are no issues with playback and the audio is still excellent. 'Submission' - 1977 one-sided single which came in my copy of Bollocks which I bought on the day it came out and it's still in pretty decent condition but is showing a lot of very fine superficial hairline scratches, but despite not being exactly what you'd call museum quality in appearance, it plays through really nicely and still sounds really great.
I'm also including another interesting record in with the other 5 singles in the form of my Italian pressing of 'Holidays in the Sun' which once survived a rodent attack but will still be of interest to Pistols collectors. I bought this from the school's 'go-to' punk record dealer (who later ended up as a Porsche salesman) as a 16 year old in 1978 and I still can recall it being quite a pricey record (a tenner rings a bell). Anyway, like a complete pillock I went off to school one day and left the record on top of my gerbil tank. When I got home and as you can picture to my complete horror, the record had fallen in and the gerbils had made themselves a bed out of the sleeve and had started nibbling away at the edges of the record. When I rediscovered these records a few weeks ago I was telling a mate about this and he found my misfortune very amusing, though as a massive Pistols fan himself and also a damn good artist, he has made me a really good replica sleeve for it - but PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WHILST THE RECORD IS TOTALLY ORIGINAL THE SLEEVE IS ONLY A REPLICA. The matrix stamped to the runouts reads 'VIN 45013-1' and 'VIN 45013-2'.
I have just finished listening to 'Did You No Wrong' and that has now completed all 11 sides of these records played right through for the first time in 40 years and they all still play really well - and that includes even the partially nibbled one. These are authentic and totally original records from the collection of an authentic and original 1970's punk but it is now time that they went off to a new home where they will hopefully give their new owner as much pleasure as they gave me almost half a century ago rather than being stuck in a box and ending up in a skip somewhere after I have snuffed it (though hopefully still a long time off).
Nothing else to say really other than thanks for looking and if it's of any interest, I have some Adverts records in really lovely condition which came from the same box as these which I'll be listing later in the week.
SORRY - NO 'BUY-IT-NOW' OPTION AS I ALWAYS ALLOW MY AUCTIONS TO RUN.

Please take a little time to study the photos which are of the actual record for sale. Obviously without the option of physically being able to pick the record up and assess it with your own eyes, the 'zoom' function via the thumbnails is particularly useful here as a tool for evaluating the true condition of the item, though I will always aim to highlight anything regarding its condition in the descriptions which I myself would want to be aware of prior to considering making a purchase.
I have some other nice records currently listed with lots of others coming up over the next few weeks.
